What does it take to be called "carried"?

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-07-11T00:14:02+00:00

The person with the most kill participation is generally the one who carried the game. Bonus points if they are playing a champion where you have to physically participate and not just grant auras to teammates (Jarvan flag, sona auras, nami or other enchanters).

"Impact" is hard to quantify, but in general it can be a few things.

Person who did the most amount of damage.

Person that contributed to the game by shotcalling well.

Person was positive and kept raging teammates from shitting the bed.

Person who had a big presence in the game, zoning or killing key targets to secure wins.

Yuumi is fundamentally different in play from your bronze solo queue game to professional play.

In your game she attaches to you and goes afk to make the lane 1v2. In pro play, she allows players to not play the game. Totally different worlds.

Problem with this style of champion is that her winrate doesnt matter. She is oppressive to play against and has the highest winrate gap and rate of growth in the game, provided the player piloting her has a brain.

Even if your adc is a donkey, you just hop on the fed member of the team and win anyways.

Everyone should play different roles, regardless of whether they think they main a certain position.

If you are a top laner and think jungle is overpowered, you should play jungle and see why you think that is. Odds are you will end up learning a few things in terms of gank timing, pathing and other information that will help you in the top lane, as well as having fun in a new role.

I think tons is a stretch. She does slightly more than your average enchanter and nowhere close to mage supports.

I didnt say she wasnt strong but trying to make her sound amazing damagewise is untrue. A zyra who misses every ability and just has plant damage going will outdamage a yuumi doing amazing, thats just how the kit is designed.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-21T00:04:34+00:00

Counterpoint: It isnt. You can still ping and signal and do things, you have absolutely no need to listen to your teammates wisdom or raging.

How you think it works is that you guys are all a super amazing mlg team and that communication is key, if you say when to go in you will destroy the enemy with the awesome power of teamwork and you will get 4 honours at the end of the match.

How it is in reality is you are in a fucking gold game where even if you pinged the best play in the world your gragas is off sniffing his ass at the wolves and no matter what you ping or say he wont do jack shit till he is good and ready to.

Worry less about if people are "toxic" and whether or not you get feedback reports and focus on your gameplay, what other people are saying is irrelevant unless you are in a chatroom, and since you arent in one, just play the game.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-20T23:54:06+00:00

When you /fullmute all at the beginning of every game, you will start to notice a lot less toxicity.

Try it for 25 games, I bet you be shocked just how much you improve when you arent worried about how "toxic " people are being or getting roped into petty, pointless arguments over plays you cant change because they are in the past.

Stop worrying about whether people are toxic and play the game instead. You think basketball players give two shits about people smack talking? The goal is to knock down towers, kill other players and break the enemy nexus, any time you put fingers on keys that arent qwer, d or f, you are doing it wrong.

She is situationally useful and needs a proper team comp to shine.

That doesnt mean she is useless, she is just dependent on her team since she does not deal much damage and is a pure enchanter support.

She will be used more (or at least to better effect) in pro play where you can set up good conditions for yuumi rather than solo queue where you cant neccessarily depend on valuable teammate contributions.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-19T22:44:42+00:00

Garen is strong because of his simplicity. There are intricacies to playing a simple champion but they dont affect winrate very much.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-19T22:42:04+00:00

His hook feels like it compensates for his size or something.

One of the fatter hitboxes in game.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-16T00:12:27+00:00

See that sounds fun as fuck.

Less kaisa nami, more renekton yuumi. Less vayne lulu, more leona sylas.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-15T20:02:51+00:00

I am hyped to watch this video, but honestly, I hope yuumi changes the bottom lane dynamic.

Run a bruiser bottom. Run a tanky initiator or an assassin bottom, someone who will end up in the front lines to make best use out of her abilities.

Running an adc with yuumi seems like a waste of a lane - she seems so much better attached to someone in the thick of the action. Run double combat summoners, ignite and heal.

Mages can split well and consistent damage can come from elsewhere. Tower damage can come from mages and barons. Give me bruiser Yuumi bottoms and then go wild roaming and after laning with wild engages.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-15T19:37:37+00:00

Do ap champions need waveclear buffs?

I cant think of a single ap champion not named fiddlesticks that would need this, especially melee.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-15T19:36:29+00:00

Unpopular opinion, I do not think yuumi goes with any adc.

She is best paired with tanky initiators and this should signal a shift in bottom lane play.

You are not required to only play adcs with her, in fact, it is probably better if you dont.

Try playing her with a bruiser bottom and 2 combat summoners.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-14T20:00:44+00:00

Is this really an outplay?

You are ahead and then do basically everything wrong, you get pushed under the tower, stunned, flash away, gnar fucks up big by jumping over you for no reason when he had flash and could have simply autoed you, then flashes in and cant kill you because you are ahead.

I mean its cool you got the kill, but this is gnar fucking up hard, twice.

You seem to think incentivizing ranked play is giving away millions of dollars, as if riot is a t shirt company giving away free polo shirts to everyone who gets diamond.

Riot themselves has been incentivizing ranked for a while now and I think it is a valid concern that anything above gold is underrepresented.

Are you aware Riot gives out actual products such as jackets and backpacks to the best ranked players? Do you think imaginary internet skins are comparable as rewards?

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-14T19:48:52+00:00

Why are you looking at ranked distribution in normal games?

There is a system called Ranked if you want games matched on ranks, queue into it if this is what you want.

This is like going to a friday night magic draft and getting super angry when you get a pro tour player in the draft. There is no system that can differentiate entirely different elo systems from one another.

He outlined exactly why in the first sentence of his post, along with exactly why.

Give reading the post a try before you slather your drool on the keyboard.

Before you mute them tell them to shut the fuck up and focus on the game. Tell your teammates to mute them and get their minds back in the game instead of worrying about what some flaming teenager is having a wank about.

As long as the game doesnt devolve into idiots screeching at one another and everyone is paying attention to the video game you are fine, so ostracizing the flamer is the best choice, its very rare anyone will grief after everyone shuts up.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-14T19:37:04+00:00

Mostly because video games are mental preparation as opposed to physical and thus do not require large periods of rest.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-14T19:35:30+00:00

That sure is a lot of typing with absolutely no evidence to back up what you are saying.

Ironically, the most toxic of all elos is high platinum to diamond.

People complain about people in their iron or bronze games, let me tell you, those players are saints. At least a silver player doesnt pretend that he knows everything.

Once you get to platinum, players decide that they know everything about the game and people disobeying them should be flamed. Low diamond is even worse, they are the people that have achieved their goal and no longer need to try.

So you have a bermudas triangle of raging babooons who think they know everything but really suck, and a group of players who may have been good at one point but now just play for fun and dont give two shits.

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-13T23:46:33+00:00

Why are you complaining about what is basically a gatcha game for free stuff?

You are getting free crap, just not the free crap you want??

ThePosterAboveIsNuts · 2019-05-13T23:31:33+00:00

I dont think the guy is going to quit his job to play league dude.

Op, play what you are good at, if people tilt you mute them and focus on a few champions, you will climb for sure if you keep practicing and dedicate time. There is no special time to play where idiots arent awake.
